The Best Outfits to Wear on St. Patrick's Day for Any Possible Plans

Wear your heaviest green parka and shamrock accessories. More often than not, the weather will be chilly for your city's annual parade, so bundling up is a must! We recommend an army green puffer (like the warm and cozy coat that's gone viral this winter!) and layering up on thematic accessories.

Wear a festive tee or the greenest shirt in your closet. It's a basic requirement to wear green on St. Patrick's Day. (Trust us, fellow party-goers will harass you all night long if you don't participate!) So now's the time to add a cute (and re-wearable!) top to your wardrobe or pick up a reasonably-priced on-theme tee if you're really feeling festive.
